The study doesn't have to study the adults to find out what is happening already to the kids. The survey doesn't say "well did you have two gay parents?". It just asked about missing their own gender as an adult role model; a thing that happens to 50% of kids in gay marriage AUTOMATICALLY, by virtue of its physical structure....So, (I know how much the Rainbow-APA enthusiasts HATE numbers and raw data), the physical structure and statistical raw data states that with 50% of kids in gay marriage will fall prey to the woes found for kids without their gender as a role model. Period. There can be no other interpretation.
Except that it asks about positive same-gender role models, not simply same-gender role models, and it doesn't specify that a parent must be that role model. Of course, since this has been pointed out to you over and over by multiple people, it's clear that you are willfully ignoring it since it doesn't advance your anti-gay marriage agenda.
If you take two situations, a happy single parent home and a happy gay "parent" home, the happy gay "parent" home is every day sending the message to 50% of the kids in it that "your gender NEVER matters in a functioning adult world". Whereas the single hetero parent is still dating, still flirting with and "making matter" the opposite gender (the child's gender) "in a functioning adult world". So all things being equal, the gay home still damages the child's self-esteem (as per the findings of the Prince's Trust survey, the largest of its kind) more than even the single parent home.
Your "gay marriage is the lesser of two evils" argument doesn't pan out, not from lack of potentials, but from lack of the necessary structure to give a reflective mirror to 50% of kids caught up in it.
